# Open in Xcancel | Shortcuts Library

> Open twitter, x, fxtwitter, etc. URLs in Xcancel

## What this shortcut does

Open in Xcancel
Bring up the Share Sheet on a Twitter, X, fxtwitter, vxtwitter or fixupx URL and select
Open in Xcancel
to open the URL in Xcancel instead. Xcancel gives you access to threads and replies without a Twitter account. Note: I did not create Xcancel, only this shortcut to open URLs there.
For best results, on the Share Sheet, scroll to the bottom and select “Edit Actions…”. Then tap the + icon next to
Open in Xcancel
to pin it to the top.
Now supports text with URLs in it. The first URL that matches will be used. Also now can be run directly, in which case it will use the text or URL on the clipboard.
Also works on Macs with Apple Silicon. Right click/two-finger-click the URL and choose Share, select Shortcuts and then select Open in Xcancel.
